We are dedicated to promoting the sport of hockey through athletics, physical exercise and sportsmanship as well as to enhance the moral character and physical health of young boys and girls through organized athletic instruction and competition.

Any player receiving FOUR penalties in one game will be ejected for the remainder of that game. (Although this tournament rule may seem severe, and unnecessary, we do this to prevent a player from receiving a 5thpenalty, which according to USA HOCKEY rules, results in a player receiving a game misconduct and automatic suspension for his team’s subsequent game. We would rather a player sit after four penalties and be eligible for his next game. We hope you understand.

Game misconducts will result in a one game suspension. Warranted or not, all referees decisions to issue Game Misconducts are final and will not be overturned.

Match Penalties and Gross Misconducts will result in expulsion from the tournament.
